Deferred Admission: Students who defer their admission to the University will be subject to the tuition rates
that are in effect for the term in which they are starting, and not the
term in which they were originally admitted. This is of interest to
International and Canadian non-Quebec resident students in particular programs where tuition rates have
been guaranteed for the duration of their program as long as there
is no break in enrolment or degree transfer.
Degree Transfers: International undergraduate students and students in non-research graduate programs who transfer degrees will be charged the tuition rate in effect for newly admitted students in the new degree in their term of transfer. Canadian non-Quebec resident students will be charged the tuition rate in effect for newly admitted students in their term of transfer.
Break in Enrolment: Quebec Residents may need to
reprove their fee status if they have been absent (i.e., not
enrolled) for more than two terms (not counting the Summer term).
Students may verify their legal status in Minerva (select the
appropriate term) to confirm that the QC residency status is still
active. Terms for which students are recorded as being away on
an officially approved leave of absence are not counted.
Canadian non-Quebec resident students who are absent (i.e., not enrolled) for more than three terms (including the summer term), will be charged the tuition rate in effect for newly admitted students in the term in which they resume their studies.
International students in undergraduate or
graduate level non-research programs who are absent (i.e., not
enrolled) for more than three terms (including the summer), will be
charged the tuition rate in effect for newly admitted students in
the term in which they resume their studies. A term of
withdrawal from the University is included in the calculation of
the break in enrolment when students are not charged tuition for
that term. Terms for which students are registered on an officially
approved leave of absence, exchange or study away program are not
calculated as part of a break in enrolment.
This policy is not applicable to Visiting and Special students as
international students in these categories always pay the fees of
the new academic year.
